Character Cottage, Endless Possibilities

SOLD - MULTIPLE OFFERS - BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS!

Offered for the first time in over 50 years: an original character cottage with high ceilings and timber floorboards, modified for modern living in the 1960s, this solid family home offers endless opportunities to breathe new life into its charming structure. Perfect to live in as is, the property offers a wonderful opportunity to renovate, add an extension, or even build a second story (STCA). Visionary buyers will be inspired by the surrounding homes that blend old-world charm with modern amenities, in a precinct of Fremantle characterised by beautiful heritage homes.

Within the walls of this wonderfully preserved property, each detail and feature is reminiscent of its bygone era.

A white, ornamental fence encloses the easy care courtyard with neat garden beds leading up to the front verandah of this stone worker’s cottage. Enjoy morning coffee or an afternoon drink on the north facing veranda and soak in the sun.

Step inside to a lovingly maintained home where a nostalgic time capsule awaits. Period features throughout include jarrah floorboards, sweeping high ceilings, ornate cornices, vintage light fittings and 1960s carpets - each detail whispering a story of its past.

Three large bedrooms are positioned at the front of the home with a wood panelled wall down the hallway leading into the dining room. An etched glass sliding door and window to the spacious living room feature a palm tree, sea and boat scene while frosted glass French doors section off this area from the large kitchen. There’s plenty of cupboard and floor space here, a Chef’s electric oven with gas stovetop and a southerly outlook to the rear back garden.

The bathroom is in vintage 1960s styled with delicate mosaic tiles and features a shower and bathtub with a separate toilet, all coming off the spacious laundry. Both the kitchen and laundry have exterior access to the secure back yard which has a garden shed and traditional outhouse.

This historical home comes complete with a security alarm system and security cameras as well as roller shutters on each window for security and privacy. A gas hot water system services the property as well as evaporative air conditioning and gas heating.

Classic charm, timeless allure and an abundance of potential beckons its next owner. Don’t miss your opportunity to secure this wonderful character home filled with the possibility of transformation and a piece of Fremantle’s history to call your own.
